2. Lying is a mark of the Devils Children, Joh. 8. 44. Ye are of your Father the Devil—he abode not in the truth, because there is not truth in him. When he speaketh a lye, he speaketh of his own, for he is a Liar and the Father of it. God is a God of truth, and his Children are Children that will not Lye, Isa. 63. 8. Satan is said, Act. 5. 3. To fill the heart to Lye. Why hath Satan filled thine heart to Lye to the Holy Ghost?

But whose Child art thou the while? none of Gods, he is the God of truth: 'tis sure thou art the Devils Child, for he is a Liar, and the Father of it.
